[QUOTE="Hamster, post: 198027"] Well on the topic of A-League and Football, with this whole expansion thing.. do you think they are rushing into creating more teams, especially in Sydney and Melbourne? Stats of A league crowds, 2007-08? (Team - Citys Populations - Average Crowd Attendance) Melbourne Victory - 3,806,092 - 26,064 Queensland Roar - 1,857,594 - 16,954 Sydney FC - 4,336,374 - 16,365 Newcastle Jets - 523,662 - 13,209 Central Coast Mariners (Gosford) - 301,551 - 12,741 Adelaide United - 1,158,259 - 12,697 Wellington Phoenix - 379,000 - 11,683 Perth Glory - 1,554,769 - 7,596 Haha funny that, the Roar got bigger average crowds than Sydney with less than half the population and they want to put a second team in Sydney? Two new teams will come in - they will be based in Gold Coast and Townsville, with populations of 583,657 and 157,174 respectively, and after the success of the ***ans I'm pretty confident the new GC side will rack will 10k+ even 15k+, and with the Townsville crop loving there Cowboys, I can see them backing a soccer team. Some interesting stats there especially the low Perth Glory crowds, I've wondered why they have done poorly there, guess I've found out above.. but they desperately need a big rectangle stadium to share with the Force and same with Adelaide Utd. Perhaps Canberra could get a sniff of a team, with a population of 400,000 .. Maybe even an AUCKLAND get get a team back there or even Hobart with a population of 200,000. I was bored.. but, I think its stupid Melbourne and Sydney could get two more teams when Sydney dont get rack in a big crowd compared to other teams, and there are other cities that deserve teams more.
